Title: The Last of Us S2 and Lilo & Stitch + Adaptations

Brace yourselves for a weird and wild double bill on Popcorn Culture this week as we review the second season of The Last of Us, which sees the survivors of the cordyceps zombie apocalypse continue to deal with grief, tribalism, and of course, said cordyceps zombies. Then we pair that up with Disney’s latest live action remake of a beloved animation, Lilo & Stitch. After that, we extend the discussion by talking about adaptations as a whole - what are the pitfalls and joys of translating stories to the screen from a variety of mediums (and sometimes, even from another film?)
